Drax here, the results are in... no one voted. Thanks. I'll make the hard decision myself... Disclaimer time!

I DO NOT OWN CODE GEASS OR ITS CHARACTERS. I OWN DRAX RAVENKNIGHT, DON'T STEAL HIM.

Chapter Seven: Live, to Give.

My alarm rang, it didn't matter since I was awake anyway, I didn't sleep this night, I haven't for several nights. Suzaku was the pilot of the Whitemare? It made so much sense at all at the same time. I didn't have school today, so I was to report to the Black Knight's new submarine base. I slipped on my battle suit, and shook C.C. awake.

"Time to go, sleepyhead."

"Five more minutes?" C.C. asked.

"Sorry, i'll get you pizza on the way. with tabasco sauce."

"I'm coming." She said quickly.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Order DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDD

She hopped in the back seat of OniShi, who was in the form of a car, and I started driving. I pulled out my phone and dialed in Pizza Hut's number. We picked up her usual pizza and continued to the docks. I parked in an alley, unseen, and dispelled OniShi, causing it, him, she? to disappear.

I'm pretty masculine, so refer to me as male.

You and I never really talk anymore OniShi, what's up?

I'm more of the strong, silent type. Plus you seem happy with you immortal girlfriend. Don't forget our contract.

You never told me your wish.

I'll tell you eventually.

Fine, be that way.

I will.

Whatever, we boarded the sub, and it soon set off.

"Drax!" A familiar voice called to me.

I turned around,

"Yes? Oh hello Oghi."

"You and I need to talk, alone." He seemed angry.

"Alright, let's g-" The speaker cut off.

"All Black Knights, report to the briefing room!" Zero's voice ordered.

"Guess it'll have to wait, Oghi." I shrugged and walked down the hall.

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

When everyone arrived Zero started the announcement.

"Now then, do to our recent reorganization a few changes have been made. Our new Chief of Military Affairs will be Kyoshiro Tohdoh." Murmurs and whispers went throughout the crowd. "Taking charge of all intelligence, espionage, and public relation matters, Diethard Reid."

"Zero, I'm not a racist, but what's your reasoning for placing one of them in such a sensitive position?" Chiba asked.

"Reasoning? And what of me I ask you? I am not Japanese either, you all know this, what matters is the ability to produce results. Who you are and where you're from are of little consequence."

"Alright, alright already." Tamaki said.

"My Deputy Commander will be Kaname Ohgi." Zero continued.

"Who me?" Ohgi asked?

"You object?" Zero inquired.

"Well, no." Ohgi said.

"And for research and development, Rakshata." Zero continued.

"Who else? Well except for silver-hair over there." She boasted.

"Captain of the Zero Squad, Kallen Kozuki." Zero announced.

"The Zero Squad?" Kallen asked.

"An elite team under me and my knight's direct command. Think of yourselves as my personal force." Zero explained.

"An elite guard... Zero. But who is your 'knight'?" She asked.

"My knight will be the only man here who knows my identity, Drax Conrads." Zero announced.

"As you wish. But please, while we are here, use my real name."

"Alright then, my knight is Drax RavenKnight." Zero restated.

"You know who Zero is?!" Everyone around me exclaimed.

"Yes."

"Back to the matter at hand, captain of the first squad will be Shōgo Asahina. Second squad, Ryōga Senba. Third squad, Kizuna Kagesaki. Tamaki will lead the second Special forces. That is all. Report to your stations." Zero finished.

"I'm the man!" Tamaki yelled triumphantly.

"There's no position for C.C.?" Kallen wondered quietly, not realizing I could hear her, even though I was in the back standing with C.C. .

"Zero, may I add something?" Diethard inquired.

"Hmm?" Zero responded.

"There's one issue that still needs to be dealt with. Suzaku Kururugi, he's become a focal point among elevens who are Britannian supporters. I recommend he be assassinated." Diethard said when we were in the trailer, only Rakshata, Toudoh, Ohgi, Diethard, Zero, and I were present.

"Assassinate him?" Zero asked.

"He may be right. You've been the focus of the resistance movement. The servile masses lack such a hero." Rakshata stated.

"People aren't moved by ideology alone, but the Britannians will hold this boy up as a symbol. I think taking him out would be the smartest decision right now." Diethard justified.

"I object." Toudoh said. "The Japanese would be revolted by such a cowardly act."

"Yeah, and the Black Knights are not in the business of killing the defenseless either!" Ohgi supported. "What do want us to do? Get him while he's alone and kill him straight out?!" His voice raising.

"I hate to interrupt, but I believe Zero will need some time to consider this."

"Thank you, I will think deeply on this matter." Zero said and we went into his personal office.

"Let's discuss this over chess shall we?"

"Sure." He said pulling off his mask. "But I warn you, I never lose."

"I was alive when this game was first invented, so don't get cocky."

"What's so complicated? Just use your Geass on Kururugi." C.C. said.

"Drop it." Lelouch said.

"So stubborn, why not? Because he's your friend, or is it pride?" She asked.

"All of it." He fumed, causing him to make a fatal error in the placement of his knight.

"Checkmate."

"How!?" He almost yelled.

"I thought you never lost?" I smirked.

"Kill him, otherwise." C.C. continued.

"Anyways, we're expected back at school, pres just texted me.

We left in OniShi's car form, and when we got there I parked in a secluded location, and dispelled him. The others joined the mass of students at the party, I just stood on the loft, looking at Suzaku. Should I kill him? Nah, I'll just wait and see what Lelouch wants me to do. Either way, I have a feeling that I'll face him soon. Earl Aspland entered to pulled Suzaku away for some reason, Nina beside him. He works for an Earl? Milly approached him, I heard,

"Lloyd? what's wrong?" Milly asked.

"Huh? You two know each other?" Nina asked.

"We're to be married." Lloyd said casually, and everyone at the party went 'HUH!?'. I didn't listen, but I caught the word 'Lancelot' and knew that that could only be one thing, the Whitemare. So now it had a name?

"Drax." Lelouch said from behind me.

"Yes?"

"We're going to Shikine Island." He said.

"Understood."

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

"Zero Squad! Fire now!" I ordered, and missiles flew into the airport.

"Cover 1st squads flank!"

"Yes!" Kallen said over my comm.

At my position beside Zero, I could clearly see all the chaos. The trap was going beautifully. The Lancelot just entered the battlefield, taking out Tamaki. Zero shot a round at him, which he blocked. We fell back to the pit, which Zero jumped into. The Lancelot followed, fool! Rakshata pressed the activation for the Gefjun Disturber. The green wave disabled Zero and Suzaku's knightmares.

"We need to talk Kururugi." Zero yelled. "I suggest you come out. Your secondary systems should still be functional; you'll be treated as a prisoner under international law, of course, if you don't care to talk, we could just gun you down."

They both got on the ground floor, I stood, with a dark purple mask, which only had slits for the eyes and mouth, beside Zero, to ensure that nothing happened.

"I want you to join me." Zero said, pointing a gun at Suzaku.

"I already told you, I won't be a part of your contemptible group." Suzaku reproached.

"You wouldn't describe the 'peace' we have now as meaningless?" Zero said.

Suzaku's comm said,

"We're launching surface to surface missiles, your order is to keep Zero there!"

Suzaku rushed forward, intercepted by me. He threw a punch, I dodged and axe-kicked his head. He crumpled. I picked him up.

"We have too get out of here Zero."

"Yes, let's go."

We hurried to OniShi, but right before we got to it Suzaku put me in a choke hold. I was forced to look up, and I saw it. A huge airship. The canons were bigger than me!

"I guess we'll all die." Suzaku said.

"LIVE!" Zero ordered him And then the red enveloped us. And all went black

DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD Kaminejima Island DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I woke up on a beach. How am I still corporeal?

Head for the center.

Why?

Head for the center.

Ooooooooookay.

I began moving towards the inner part of the Island. At least my clothes were dry.

After several hours, I decided to rest for the evening. I woke up sometime the next morning, and continued moving. I soon reached a clearing. Suzaku was holding Kallen hostage, Zero was holding Euphemia.

"Drax!? You're a member of the Black Knights too?!" Suzaku exclaimed.

"I owe no explanation to you!" I charged him, but before I could reach him, the Geass' familiar bird sigil lit up the ground.

"Shit."

The next chapter's bound to be intense! Because of the lack of votes, I decided that Rai will not be in this fic, or maybe I'll change my mind. Review! But if it's negative, make sure it's helpful. Point out what needs fixed! I'll delete any that aren't helpful. Honestly, do you people know how to type? Then type a few words to help me out. This one's a little short, sorry.
